Despite their old fashioned appearance each map offers you a degree of customization, using the pdf technology at its best. A button (which will not be printed) on each map allows you to turn on and off the grid, eliminate the room numbers, get the walls filled, don't show doors and furniture and many other options, depending on the kind of map. Each product features a classic fantasy adventure location: a dungeon, a keep, a temple complex, a thieves guild and so on. You can use these map as reference to build your own adventures or simply take them at hand in case your players go in an unexpected direction during the campaign. While offering you the best quality, these products are really inexpensive.

The Great City, Cutthroats' AlleyThe Cutthroats' Alley is one of the most infamous places in the Great City. No place has such concentrate of evil and depravity. One who dare to enter in the alley, does it at his own risk. An occasional visitor who enters the alley during the day, can see only a normal city alley, with a small church, a bakery, a locksmith and a tavern. True, some bad-looking guys wander in the alley or stay in clutches playing card games over crates or barrels, but this is all one can see.

The truth is far more dangerous as the baker is a known fence, the tavern is owned by a guy who tortures people, the locksmith is a prohibited weapon dealer and owner of an house of pleasure, the church's crypt is the meeting place of evil summoners and, finally, in the sewers below there is the lair of one of the most wanted smugglers of the city.

Another great product-you simply cannot go wrong with Oones. This particular product details a area of about a city block (roughly), from the sewers to the cellars to the rooftops. For two bucks. [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
